Dealing with Resisters
Christian amusements
From In Green Pastures by J. R. Miller, 1890
“...whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things." Philippians 4:8
Amusement must never become an end in life. It must always be a means, a help on the way -- just
as sleep is, just as rest is. An hour's amusement, should be to you, just what a night's sleeping is. It
should make you stronger, clearer-headed, braver, calmer-souled, more hopeful, more earnest, more
enthusiastic -- inspiring you for godly living.Anything which leaves a taint of impurity upon the life, or starts a thought of impurity in the mind,
anything which degrades or debases the soul -- is an unfit and unworthy amusement for a Christian.
Christian amusements must be such, as do not harm spiritual life; they must be means of grace.
"Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do--do everything for God's glory!"
1 Corinthians 10:31
